At the same time, this very growth is a shield against the growth of "rivals" bad microorganisms. 

Thus, fat-soluble vitamins and fiber remain unchanged! In fact, the fermentation process creates a food with probiotic and prebiotic action, which enriches the intestine with beneficial bacteria.

HISTORY OF GOLD BEHIND THE PRODUCT

In distant historical Persia and the need to preserve food for a long time, pickles owe their birth. After all, the etymology of the word proves it. Pickle means sour and the word comes from the Persian entry pickle (turşi)! 

The birth of this idea proved to be particularly useful for the long voyages of the caravans of Iran and of Persia. In the search for new places or in their long journey until they reached the sacred places they wanted to visit, food storage was very important. Using only pure ingredients such as salt or vinegar, they began to make pickles. Thus, they preserved for a very long time the vulnerable vegetables that were their food even when there was no current possibility of cooling. Also, the use of canned food was not yet widespread. Thus, pickles seemed to be the only way to get the nutrients and fiber of vegetables. So it turns out that they were very useful for the defense of their body.

Apart from the need, however, pickles had another innovation. It had a completely different taste, more sour and very tasty!
